Hey Frank,

The Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B is designed to work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars with maximum dimensions of 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall so they'll likely fit even if you have factory crossbars. You'll need them to be spaced 23-5/8" - 35-1/2" apart from center to center in order for them to line up with the attachment points on the cargo box.

If you don't have crossbars and just have front-to-back rails you can use the following Thule roof rack components:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520
Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401

To determine if you'll have enough clearance for the rear hatch you'll want to measure the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the hinge on the hatch. You'll need at least 54-3/4" in order to clear the hatch.
